科際整合研究中學術資訊共享問題初探

在研究的過程，學術資訊的使用有助於定義問題、尋求解答與發表成果，是研究中相當重要的資源。近年來，由於研究問題的複雜往往需要不同學科的知識與方法，研究人員開始意識到科際整合研究的重要性。在本文中，我們從對科際整合研究不同的定義中，探討不同學科間學術資訊共享的重要性，並從傳播管道、學術語言及學術文化等三方面思考目前在科際整合研究上學術資訊共享的一些障礙與解決之道。在學術資訊的傳播管道上，我們希望從各種整合型研究團隊的發展，建立起穩定的非正式傳播管道。在學術資訊的語言問題上，索引典可以減少學科術語使用上的阻礙，因此需要致力於索引典自動產生方法的研究。而最重要的則是參與科際整合研究的人員需要提昇在本身學科上的研究成果，同時虛心接納其他學科從不同觀點得到的研究成果，才能全盤性的了解問題與探索最佳的解答。

Scholarly information is one of the most important resources for research activities. The use of scholarly information contributes to the defining of research problems, searching of possible solutions and publishing the research results. In recent years, with the rapid growth of the number of complex problems, it often requires knowledge and methodology from diverse disciplines to solve them. This paper discusses the significance of scholarly information-sharing among diverse disciplines from different definitions of interdisciplinary researches. Moreover, the study analyzes the problems and barriers of scholarly information sharing in interdisciplinary researches form the standpoints of communication channels, differences of scholarly languages used and diversity of scholarly cultures. Three possible solutions are presented. (1) Concerning the information communication channels, it is highly desirable to build informal channels from the development of various integrating research teams. (2) Respecting the problems arising form the use of terms in specific disciplines, thesauri can be used to solve them; therefore, it deserves careful study to find automated method for thesauri generation. (3) The researchers in interdisciplinary studies should try to strengthen ability in their own disciplines and refer to relevant publications in other disciplines to have a broader view of the issue in order to find better solution.
